#1 My favoirte charicter is Iouen because she is like 9 or 10, and she acts like a little girl. (Because she has brain damage.) And my least favorte charicter is the aunt Clare because she was really sassy when a teenager.

#2 My favorite character is Amy because she always likes to explore and find out more. I also have another favorite character. Her name is Lourenn. I like her because she always wants to help. Lourenn is also very giving. I also like aunt clare because she changes. Alone then independant. But the bad thing about aunt Clare is that she never apreciated the doll house just because she thought she was to old to play with the dolls. My least favorite character is Amy's and Lourenn's mom and dad because they thought that changing yourself is not worth it and that you always have to stay the same.

Extra Comments: Stefanie; Do you know how Louen got brain damage? CARLI: I think Lourenn was just born with brain damage.
Mrs. Rowe: Stef, can you give me an example of how Aunt Clare was sassy when she was a teenager?stef; she cried when she got a really cool doll house of her house when she wanted a tellagraf.

#1 Amy (main charcter) has to live with her sister Louan who has brain damige. Than her aunt invited her over for a few weeks. Amy found a dollhouse that looked like the house that she was staying in and played with it. The dolls looked like Aunt Claire and her family (Amy's Dad and Amy's Great Grandma and Great Grampa). She put all the dolls around the dinner table. Plus after she checked again one of the dolls stood up. After that she was wondering how Great Grandparents died. Amy went to the library to find out what happened and she found out they were murdered. The next time Amy checked the dollhouse, the Grandparent dolls were where they were murdered: Grampa was face down on his be, Grama was in the parlor. Amy's Dad was in the closet by the fireplace. The murders happened while Claire was at the movies, she was 18 years old.

#2 Amy is the main character. She lives with her family. Amy has a younger sister, a mom and a dad. Every say my has to watch her sister Louann who had brain damage. When Amy and Louann's mother arrived Louann made Amy mad and Amy ran away to her aunt Clares house. When she got there she heard someone up stairs. It was aunt Clare. Amy went up to help her finish un packing since she just moved in from Chicago. When aunt Clare was going down stairs to put a box away Amy saw a big white sheet over a house shape. When she took the cover off she saw a beautiful doll house. She opened a chest and found the dolls. She put them all around the table. Then she closed the doll house and told aunt Clare how beautiful the doll house was. Aunt Clare seemed to be not happy about the doll house. She told Amy that she got the doll house when she was 15 yrs. old. At that time aunt Clare thought that she was to old to play with dolls. Then they went down stairs and aunt Clare asked if she would like to stay here a few weeks just to get away from Louann for a while. When she went back up stairs to check on the doll house she saw the grandma in the parlor when she didn't put her there. Amy wondered how her great grandma and grandpa died. She knew the year they died so Amy and her friend Ellen went to the library to find out it took along time. Then finally they found something. They got murdered. But by who? They didn't find out.

#1 This book reminds me of a doll house I used to have, because mine is really big and the same is with the storie, my doll house needed a lach to open it same with the storie.A diffence is that mine is not a copy af my house. Other wise I do'nt think I have anything else.

#2 The book reminds me of some scary moments in my life. I don't have anything that is about murders or doll houses. But it also reminds me of when you feel so good that a time in your life is over and you move on to the next. It feels good when you accomplish something.

#1 The climax of this book is when Amy was curus and went to the attic with Louann and saw the grandma doll trying to run away from the killer than she put the desk by the door and than the books fell then the killer got in. Plus the killer was Tom, Clares boyfreind. But there was not a doll for him so he was invisible. Plus just befor the grandma got murdered Amy and Louann ran downstairs yelling.

#2 The climax of the story is when Amy and Louann go up to the attic and they see the books fall down. Then they see the scene of how their grandma and grandpa died. They were murdered. Amy and Louann kept watching the doll house and then they saw the air making noises on the foot steps like it was going down stairs. Then they quickly rushed to aunt Clare's room and toppled onto her bed. She woke up and they went downstairs to have some cocoa. Just to calm down. Amy told aunt Clare what she saw. Then it hit her. The doll house was trying to tell them something. She remembered the books flying out of the shelves. There must be something hidden there. Amy told aunt Clare her plan and they all went to the parlor to look through the books. While they were about to give up Louann saw a not it said that something about who killed them.
